The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
Tu Shan Lingxi stared blankly at the man in front of her, her little paws lightly stepping on his large hand. This is a tyrant, isn't he?
He didn't react at all when she stepped on him; he didn't seem like the tyrannical and debauched ruler of legend at all!
"Awoooooo~"
Tu Shan Lingxi wagged her big tail happily. She had trampled the legendary tyrant under her feet, and she laughed triumphantly, thinking herself a handsome and mighty wolf king.
Before she could even revel in her triumph, a large hand grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up.
"This little fox is far too intelligent. It even seems happy after stepping on someone. Imperial Advisor, where did you find this treasure? Let me take it back and raise it for a couple of days."
Yin Changling stroked Tu Shan Lingxi's glossy fur, noticing that it was completely free of any stray hairs. For some reason, he felt an instant fondness for her.
This little fox is quite perceptive; it's snuggling up to me, not resisting at all, and even closing its eyes in enjoyment.
Yin Changling found it extremely novel and held her tightly, never having felt so happy before.
Little did he know that Tu Shan Lingxi was attracted by the dragon energy emanating from him, and was so intoxicated by it that she felt as if she were floating in the sky, making the little fox feel dizzy.
"Aww~"
The dragon energy on Yin Changling's body seemed to have its own consciousness, actively clinging to Tu Shan Lingxi, not minding at all that it was being absorbed into her.
Wan Qijin felt both annoyed and amused. This little fox had only just been picked up on the mountain and was already so affectionate towards others. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
However, he didn't take it to heart. He just felt that Tu Shan Lingxi's condition was a bit off. His eyes sharpened as he carefully examined her.
"Naughty!"
As expected of the Imperial Advisor, Wan Qijin quickly noticed the abnormality. He glanced at Tu Shan Lingxi, who was almost lying on her back, and smiled helplessly.
He tapped Tu Shan Lingxi, and the dragon energy surrounding her reluctantly left, but it remained on the side, watching the little one intently.
Wan Qijin was helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want Tu Shan Lingxi to absorb some dragon energy, since it was a great tonic for demons.
However, the little fox has not yet taken human form. If she inhales too much spiritual energy, her spiritual power will surge violently, and in severe cases, she will explode and die.
It seems I need to properly supervise this little one's cultivation and help her transform into human form as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, have you come here today to discuss something important? Please speak freely."
While they were talking, Wan Qijin picked up the little fox again, still with that otherworldly, ethereal air, showing no sign of displeasure.
Yin Changling sighed inwardly at the pity, then remembered that he had important business to attend to. He needed to find a way to subjugate all the surrounding tribes and make them subjects of the Great Yin Kingdom.
"Grand Preceptor, I have a question. The military strength of the Yin Kingdom is not strong, and many tribes have been attacking us. I am really annoyed by their constant attacks. How can we subdue them?"
When Tu Shan Lingxi heard about state affairs, she initially pricked up her ears to listen carefully, but the more she listened, the sleepier she became. She didn't absorb much, but her little head started nodding frequently.
Before long, accompanied by the Grand Preceptor's clear, spring-like voice, Tu Shan Lingxi surprisingly started snoring softly, sleeping soundly.
After they finished talking about this matter, Yin Changling noticed this scene and couldn't help but twitch his fingers, feeling a strange itch to do so.
"It's getting late, and there's nothing here to entertain Your Majesty, so perhaps—"
"Why don't I stay for a meal? The food at the Imperial Preceptor's residence is usually quite good, and I'm very satisfied with it."
Before Wan Qijin could finish speaking, Yin Changling interrupted him. For the sake of this exceptionally intelligent little fox, he shamelessly stayed.
"Well……"
"Since Your Majesty does not mind, then so be it."
The Imperial Advisor, Wan Qijin, was helpless. He couldn't very well drive away the ill-tempered emperor just because of his possessiveness.
He had a vague feeling that Yin Changling's interaction with the little fox was an eyesore. The little fox was his own, so why was it being so close to other people?
But considering that the little fox is still young and naturally active, and does need some playmates, I decided to indulge her this time.
...
When the delicious food was served, the little fox squatted in front of his bowl, looking at the boiled meat in plain water, feeling like crying.
Looking at Wan Qijin and Yin Changling's table, there was sweet and sour fish, delicious mutton soup, fragrant steamed chicken, and some tender and delicious vegetarian dishes.
Uh, vegetarian dishes are out of the question. The little fox hates eating vegetarian dishes because they're dry and tasteless.
"Awoo~"
Tu Shan Lingxi cried out in anguish. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She also wanted to eat human food, instead of the same dry boiled meat.
"Imperial Advisor, isn't the little fox too pitiful? Why don't we feed her a chicken leg?"
Yin Changling was drawn by Tu Shan Lingxi's cries. Such painful howls were usually heard in wolf packs when a companion had died.
The little fox's cries were so pitiful that Yin Changling felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to feed her some delicious food.
"Awooooo~"
Tu Shan Lingxi listened intently. Upon hearing this, she happily ran to Yin Changling's feet, grabbed his robes, and tried to climb up, moving very quickly.
And so, the two watched as the little fox licked Yin Changling's finger in a fawning manner, then tilted its head and acted cute, looking expectantly at the bowl of steamed chicken.
"Hahahaha, little fox, you really can understand human speech! Here, I'll give it to you right now."
Yin Changling felt the tingling sensation at his fingertips, as if it went straight to his heart, making his heart tremble.
